“… [Saint-Just] deserves our admiration. He knows … Robespierre’s life is threatened by … enemies on the Committee. Although he is Robespierre’s friend he has only to say nothing … it is likely … his reputation with the army will save him. But he is not that sort of man. His pride, if not his friendship, prevents such a betrayal. He stands up alone to protect Robespierre, and does not even say a word in his own defense.”
- Leaders of the French Revolution, J.M. Thompson
